Several players have left Manchester City one of them being their captain Gundogan and now the hot topic of discussion is Bernardo Silva...
They lost a 32 year old Gundogan and got a 29 year old Kovacic who can fit into the Guardiola system as well as Ilker can. I think they are doing good business as it is. They survived without Cancelo for the 2nd half of last season and can do without him for the next one if he chooses to not return.

If Bernado Silva goes Phil Foden can drop into the midfield and get more game time or they can use the money gotten for Silva and get in another midfielder. The best coaches know how to make right signings and how to replace players who want to leave.

hey (1 person) rise from the newbie, then farming merit to full member, then join the signature campaign, rank up to senior, hero, and so on, then take a loan from you just for trust rating, and after enough trust is collected, he will run.
NOTE:
Why will anyone take a loan for trust rating and then default on the loan?
You will be tagged by many users and the trust of the account will be destroyed. Makes more sense to do it just to get some money and repeat with another account, but they can make more if they simply do things right and try to benefit the forum.

(this thread I created to collect merit to rank up full members, I want to make my pizza as an avatar.
Believe me, I won't join any signature campaign on this account even doomsday!!!)
No one will send you merit for this. I will advice you take it off and focus on learning more if you want to rank up more.
Majority of your merits were from a pizza contest, now you need to learn from other members and make more constructive posts if you want to rank up.

1083  Other / Meta / Re: Addition of more forum boards/sections and modifications. Any need currently? on: July 15, 2023, 08:01:58 PM
In my personal opinion, we need to remove the merit system now and go back to old system where users rank increases with forum posting and time spent on forum.
In my opinion that is a terrible idea. Removing the merit system means rewarding users with higher ranks for simply making posts, not caring if those posts were actually helpful to anyone who read them.
This will give us more activity quite alright but it will be all spam and eventually the better users will quit the forum since all the boards will get overrun.

Any sort of incentive to get users to remain active will only attract spammers. The most the admins can do is to create a forum that members will want to be on and moderate it effectively.

If there was a user script that can be used, I will be curious to see how many new Legendary/Hero/Senior members we get if merits were no longer a factor to rank.

With how people thinks in this forum, they will get the opposite (of the bold part) and the site will be labeled as suspicious or lately a scam since spamming the forum is not very helpful when promoting a service.
They are targeting the users who do not know how to discern a scam project. Even if just one user falls for their gimmick it would have been successful then.

Scam services just want publicity and will pay to get it through any means.

there was a time I was actually seconding a motion that all this influencers or celebrities be held accountable for the actions of the products they promote because they need to know everything about it.
Their culpability in scams that they engage in can be investigated and if it is discovered that they willfully promoted a scam, they should be held accountable for it. But if they were also swindled like everyone else they are also victims.

No one should let someone else do the thinking for them. If you are going to put your money into it, you should also be able to put your time and energy into doing your research.

who knows what their aim is since they are just all newbies and not wearing any signatures, which could require them to post in the gambling section.
To drive traffic to the project which may be a rug pull in the end. The more visibility they give to the project the more the chances of users searching to find out more about them. I think they would not get much of such users here.
They do not need a signature or even a link to attract attention.

1087  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How is sending bitcoin through a QR-code safe ? on: July 14, 2023, 08:22:19 PM
i was wondering if it's possible to change a QR-code the same way that the victim sends the btc to the scammer address ?
To the best of my software knowledge (which is not much), it is not possible yet for a QR code to be changed through a malware on the device it is being scanned on. If that is possible, then the phone need to have been so corrupted that the hackers will be able to steal whatever is on it without going through all that.

You will be extra secure if you double check every letter in the (scanned or copied) address before sending.

It is a classic scam and people are still falling for the every day, all you need is someone who the public trusts and an investment that gets all the hype.

Then I didn't understand how you could put your life's savings into a single cryptocurrency (unless it is bitcoin, that's my opinion).
You should not even put your life savings into bitcoin no matter how much you trust it. Diversification saves your investments and gives you different timelines of gains and periods of hodl, meaning you are not always waiting on a particular asset to rise or fall but have different options to profit from.

1089  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is done! Now this is what we are left with! on: July 14, 2023, 08:00:24 PM
Bitcoin mining serves two purposes, to bring new Bitcoins into circulation and to also confirm transaction fees. If there are no more new bitcoins to be mined it will still continue to be used to confirm transactions and keep the network operative.

  • Will we be able to see stability in Bitcoin prices? Or price dump? how will this play out?
  • Positive impact or negative impact?
  • Will people still be interested in Bitcoin?
The end to bitcoin rewards is not something that will be taken away instantly but will come gradually over many years if slow and paced reductions. If it will have a significant effect on the price or any other negative or positive one, we will notice them several years before the last satoshi is mined.

And Yes, people will still be interested in bitcoin.

1090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Understanding Bitcoin's Potential Realistically on: July 13, 2023, 08:33:20 PM
As long-term Bitcoin enthusiasts, some of us have been part of this journey since its creation and we have witnessed its transformative power firsthand. Bitcoin has undoubtedly changed lives and ignited dreams for the future.
Only a handful of us have been here from the beginning and the rest of us joined along the way, but we have witnessed to an extent its transformative powers and with the history charts we can see how the past performance was.

While we all share a belief in Bitcoin's potential it's crucial to strike a balance between optimism and realism.
The only point where I allow myself to be unrealistic is in my price expectation. I do not think we can put a cap on how high Bitcoin can rise in the future with how much it has done with the little available to it so far.
When it comes to its impact on the world, on economies, world poverty, it is no magic elixir. The world will not be fixed through Bitcoin but the more than a handful of people who are in it now, and will join later can improve their financial status through it.

That's great, thanks! Yes I have completed KYC. I am curious to see whether I can use the mixer to mix my UTXOs and send them to the same vault.
That does not repair the privacy issue you are trying to fix, also privacy cannot be "fixed" in the direct sense.

The proof of transactions from your binance address to you current address will always be on the blockchain and anyone with basic analytic skills can link the dots.
What you can do is to create a different set of addresses and send (coinjoin or mix) all the coins into these new sets. This will break the link between your current set of addresses and the new one.

Just want to know if its possible to convert bitcoin into physical sensitive micro chips as programs,
Yes, you can encode the private keys or seedphrase into a physical design like an actual coin. It is used as collectibles but not very popular for some obvious reasons, like it being potentially stolen.

in future with such chips that's like a bank token you can make payment with bitcoin  with less network service of bitcoin confirmation.
The future of Bitcoin is not in it becoming a physical commodity and it does not in any way make transactions easier except you plan on handing people the physical bitcoin pieces. That will not be smart either cause the person will have back ups of it and can sweep the coins before you do.

You need to identify an actual problem before preferring a solution.

1095  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can I confirmed transactions by running a full node? on: July 08, 2023, 09:12:42 AM
So running the full node will help you with the validation process quickly and broadcast the transaction to mempool which means they will be in the unconfirmed status.
You do not need to run a full node to be able to broadcast a transaction to the mempool, any wallet can do that and other nodes can validate the transaction after which they add it to their mempool.

They are incentivized to include a transaction with higher gas fee to earn those as reward for mining a block.
It is not called gas fees in Bitcoin, but it is called transaction fees.

1097  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Huobi.com Suspending Withdrawal: Funds Held Hostage due to Monero Transaction on: July 05, 2023, 09:29:29 PM
Huobi in the past have delisted Monero and other privacy coins to be compliant with regulatory rules which limits trade of untraceable transactions and those done through mixers. If you have not in the past withdrawn or deposited Monero then they might have some regulation against it.

All these exchanges use their Terms of service to give themselves the right to act in their sole discretion;

"5.2 When this Website finds at its sole discretion that you or your associated account user is not suitable for high-risk investment, this Website shall have the right to suspend or terminate the use of your account and all associated accounts thereof."[1]

So even without trading a coin that is not allowed they can terminate or suspend your account cause they feel like.

You can earn by holding bitcoin if its value increases.
Looking for other ways to earn from Bitcoin will lead you to fall for scams which takes your coins and offers you promises or staking rewards.

Referring to real services that serve bitcoin and earns bitcoin like Mixers for example
Mixers are independent services and they all have different ways they earn. You can create a service that helps Bitcoin holders, like building a decentralized exchange and you earn from it.

1100  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Recurring payments in Bitcoin wallets using timelocked transactions. on: July 04, 2023, 11:11:28 AM
How will changes in fees be accounted for if it is done automatically?
At the time of creating the transaction the feerate averagely accepted by miners could be very different to the one at the time of broadcast. I will not want to overpay by a wide margin to accommodate for changes in the mempool and I will not want to underpay and not have my transaction added to any block.
